Filled with facts but lacking in soul and spirit, 15 Mar 2000

By A Customer

Although Maria Perry's book is well researched, it reads very blandly and is overall, not very involving. As someone with an interest in Tudor biographies, I was thrilled to see that someone had finally devoted an entire book to Henry VIII's spirited and independent sisters as they were both women of immense character, but although this book faithfully recounts the factual events of their lives, it really never once captures their emotions or personalities. It's not a bad book by any means, but, considering the power, scandal, influence and independence these two women took on as the hallmarks of their lives, it's certainly a missed opportunity to bring them to life for the reader.
